About Friends
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc,
Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer star in this hit comedy about six
close-knit young friends living in New York City.
Beginning its eighth season as the leadoff series on NBC’s enormously
popular “Must See TV” Thursday night lineup, “Friends” continues
to garner critical acclaim and ratings success. The series reigns as the
No. 1 comedy and top-rated 8 p.m. series on television.
Since its debut season (1994-95), “Friends” has received 33 Emmy Award
nominations, including four for Outstanding Comedy Series. The cast won a
Screen Actors Guild Award in 1996 for Outstanding Ensemble Performance in
a Comedy Series and has been nominated three times (1996, 1997, 1998) for
a Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy.
“Friends” won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy
Series in its first season, and has since won twice more as Favorite
Comedy Series.
The series focuses on the friendship of three men and three women who
frequently gather at each other’s apartments and share sofa space at
Greenwich Village’s “Central Perk” coffeehouse. Monica (Cox
Arquette) is a chef with an obsession for neatness and order in her life.
She is also married to Chandler (Perry),
a dry wit who is never at a loss for words. Across the hall is
Chandler’s longtime roommate Joey (LeBlanc), an actor currently on
“Days of Our Lives”
playing a man with a woman’s brain.
Sharing his apartment, is Rachel (Aniston), Monica’s best friend from
high
school and former roomie. Rachel works for a fashion designer and is still
trying to get by without help from her well-to-do father. Across the alley
from Monica and Chandler is Monica’s hapless brother Ross (Schwimmer), a
teacher who has been divorced three times, including once from Rachel
following a reckless weekend in
Las Vegas. Rounding out the circle of friends is Monica’s ex-roommate,
Phoebe Buffay (Kudrow), an offbeat, eternally optimistic folk singer and
massage therapist, who gave birth to triplets as a surrogate mother for
her half-brother and his wife.
The series was created by the writing team of Marta Kauffman & David
Crane. Emmy and CableACE Award-winning producer Kevin Bright is executive
producer with Kauffman and Crane. Scott Silveri and Shana Goldberg-Meehan
also serve as executive producers (taken from NBC)
